What a lot of the younger, newer collectors don't know is that the 1989 Upper Deck set changed the card collecting industry forever. What you see today is all based upon that set alone. Topps, Donruss, and Fleer all had to up their game to keep up.
You nailed it, that 1989 set set the standard for the industry. I did a whole deep dive on how upper deck changed baseball cards. Be sure to watch that video

Pretty cool little fact. Also amazing that Griffey was the prime card to go after each year too.
Yeah upper deck really leaned in to feature Griffey as card #1
Awesome my friend 🎉
